Elizabeth Vale, South Australia SA Health Full time
About the Role

The Northern Adelaide Local Health Network is seeking a dedicated and passionate Podiatrist to join the Watto Purrunna Aboriginal Primary Health Care Service. In this role, you will have the opportunity to make a tangible difference to the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

As a valued member of the Watto Purrunna Aboriginal Health Team, you will have the opportunity to promote the health and well-being of the Aboriginal community by providing responsive primary health care services, programs, and activities based on social justice and an understanding of the physical and social determinants of health.

In this dynamic role, you will apply your clinical experience, continuously expand your clinical knowledge, and enhance your professional competence to plan, implement, and evaluate comprehensive and integrated services tailored to the needs of NALHN clients. Working under limited direct clinical supervision, you will have the opportunity to provide direction and support to less experienced therapists, allied health assistants, and students.

To be eligible for this position, you must hold an appropriate degree or equivalent qualification which entitles registration with the Podiatry Board of Australia.

A deep understanding of the cultural and health needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities is crucial to this role.

This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a passionate, highly driven, dedicated, and progressive team.
